Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

But but but we are such trash

Well... when you read his reasoning for why we are #10, that’s exactly why he has us there. He just makes fun of us.

 

[Glitch]

You’ve never been a realist, you’ve always erred on the side of negative buddy.

It is funny because it looks like you are responding to..... nobody.

Typical """journalism""" from the mainstream media that's geared towards getting a reaction and clicks from casuals. Just don't even bother giving this tripe your clicks. If you were expecting a nuanced breakdown of the 2018 Tennessee Vols with an evaluation of talent and analytics-based insight, ESPN columnists are the last place to go for that type of content.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

You’ve said we’d be lucky to make 6-6. You’ve said that we don’t stand a chance against WV. You’ve said we have next to no talent on this roster. Do I really need to go on? How come everyone else can see it but you?

Maybe because everything you just hit on is dead wrong. Yes, I think we'll go 6-6, never did I say "if we're lucky." I've said on numerous occasions that I think we'll compete with West Virginia, but ultimately lose the game. Not once have I said we have next to no talent on this roster, I've once again said on numerous occasions that I think we're middle of the road in this league talent wise. So yes you should go on, because you literally swung and missed on every one of those points.

 

[SergeantVol]

Tbh nearly all the "experts" agree with him besides maybe Kirk Herbstreit. We are getting close to the season so a lot of us are ramping up their expectations because we are excited.

Nb4: That's a shocker coming from you negavol catbone

The experts aren’t dyed in wool Vols fans either.

You keep posting this 12 minute videos and I am going to get a temporary vacation from work, LOL

 

[drvenner]

When we beat WV, handle the two cupcakes, then take care of the Gators at home and we are sitting at 4-0, anybody gonna change their prediction on the year? Those predicting 6-6 think we can squeeze only two more wins the rest of the year?

Nah, we will already be at our ceiling.

 

[GoVolsDR]

Where are some good places to watch the Vols in Atlanta? Is Buckhead Saloon still the place to go if you're a Vols fan? Will The Ivy be packed with UGA fans barking and acting like idiots?

 

[drvenner]

Buddy, please enlighten me on how I haven't been a realist and how I've erred on the side of being negative.

Do you read your own posts? I get that you do try to objective, but fans, by their nature, can't be. You can try to be, but if you're a true fan, objectivity will not be one of your traits. The very strong perception on here of most posters, is that you are very negative or are a troll. I don't think you're a troll, actually, though I do believe you try to get people cranked up. Since most of us love Tennessee football, it isn't that difficult to get us riled. I believe that you are trying to convince people you're realistic and objective and can take your emotions out of it. For that reason, you tend to err on the negative side to compensate for your fandom. You fall all over yourself to find a counterpoint to anything positive because your "realism" demands it. I prefer to enjoy the ride, be optimistic and believe whole-heartedly that we are going to whip that effin' azz. It's a lot more fun, IMO.

 

[drvenner]

Well let’s send ole marky mark a tennessee greeting from vol nation

FYP

 

[drvenner]

Wow, he's a Georgia homer.

Edit: Read the narrative. Eff Schlabach and all his butt-sniffer friends.

I swear the most annoying thing is trying to listen to sports talk and only hearing these live commercials they do about how great each and every product is that they are selling. I get it. It pays the bills but man alive

This is where working from home is awesome. 1 computer for work, another for Volnation. Let's just say one computer is getting most of my attention, and the other I'm just moving the mouse every few minutes so the screensaver doesn't come on.

So hoping West Virginia doesn’t smoke us and telling people who think we go 7-5 or better to get a grip never happened?

You mean you don't like Will West shilling Fitness Together followed by shilling for vape juice

Kress is butthurt that someone published something that surpasses his own level of uninformed, passive-aggressive, “unbiased” crap-journalism.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

Poor negavols it’s ok,this coaching staff that has prevented a single injury from happening before the first game of the season is all the confidence you need now then.......WGWTFA!

Negavol?!?

I am thrilled that we came out of fall camp with no significant injuries, but still going to need to see how the lines play before I feel confident in predicting upsets.

 

[Easttnken]

I may make it up for the Kentucky game. Some of you lucky posters may get to meet the man, the myth, the legend.....








My son. The kid’s pretty awesome like his mom.

Cool...maybe HE will make Mod one day.

 

[UTSuave’]

FYP

Oh Yea?

Fair enough! Go Vols

Chief, after that sick burn by Sarge...

Well if you'd look in the second part of the "hope WVU doesn't smoke us" post you would have seen the "Dana sounds mad" part. Evidently it was a bad joke. The get a grip comment I made was in response to someone who said they hoped Pruitt would be treated fairly if we go 6-6 this year or something like that. Context helps.

one of the reasons I stopped trying to listen. That and how horrible the app is. Also, how in the world does VQ get away with releasing that round table video in mono audio? I know they're really writers, but get an tech savy intern or something.

 

[drvenner]

Oh Yea?

I just fixed it to give them double Gauldens like the one in your Avi, LOL.

Google UT Atlanta Alumni
They meet at several places...usually one inside and one outside the perimeter.
